I remembered we were classmates in the class of discipleship. Her vibrant attitude towards life automatically won her the secretary position in the class. We spent a wonderful and interactive life in class and graduated that year. May God  continue to keep you in his arms.

Its with a shock that I discovered that you are gone, May God rest your soul. May the God of heaven comfort your family. I remember our stay in the Nigerian Air Force, you were  a friend, a mother, a sister who took care of us all. You were willing to give and do all you can to make everyone comfortable and happy. We miss you jewel

I met Agatha when I was knocking on doors to sell Avon in my neighborhood.  She had the biggest smile, sweetest voice.  Her children were so kind and well behaved.  I knew she was a Christian, and soon we were sharing about our faith.  She was always loving and kind, helpful, and lived above reproach.  She was the light in our neighborhood.  I miss her so much and think about her every day.  I am happy that she is with the Lord.  She was a good and faithful servant!  I wish I had had more time to take her to lunch, to talk about our families, so I am sad for those of us left behind.  But I am so happy for her and will see her again one day.  That will be a happy reunion.  I wish to send my love to her children, husband, church family, and close friends.  God bless you all.  If I can ever be of help, please call on me. 

I remember my first few months at RCCG, Living Spring . Whenever I saw Pastor Agatha walk up with a microphone, I knew it meant a seroius round of prayers. when it came to evangelism, it was also serious business. Pastor Agatha had a passion for God that you could not help but notice. She was a great example of what selfless service is all about.

She will be greatly missed.

I REMEMBER WHEN...............

I remember when I first attended the RCCG Living Spring Miracle Center; it was this one particular Sunday when I was leaving the  church to go home,took me by the hand and led me back into the church to give me a second warm welcome.

 Pastor Agatha who was then called "Agatha Dark" ; and, I remember her looking at me and saying to me to call me "Agatha dark." for we had 2 Agatha's in the Church, Agatha Light & Agatha Dark,

 It seemed,like from the beginning of  being a new RCCG  born babe in" CHRIST"; I was face with so many petty challenges. Pastor Agatha along with Pastor Margaret took me under their wings and kept me protected and out of  "Harms way". They changed many of my "SPIRITUAL PAMPERS", and when I would fret, . (I would look at that bright orange nail polish on her finger nails)  as she  pointed her finger at me in love she would remind me that all would be well. 

I remember how she always shared a stick of chewing gum from her pack of gum with me. It may seem like nonsense to some but to me I will cherish those moments forever.

I remember she and I use to do Evangelism work in the community, and I remember how zealous she was to be used as an instrument of Almighty God to win Souls for Christ. One household at 5820 Samson Street the Father ( now decease), His Daughter & her friend were saved on that day.

We would knocked on every door in the  surrounding community, even the Drug dealers doors (unknowingly).

I remember us ministering to a mentally deranged woman on the corner who is now walking with a stable mind .

 I remember when Pastor Agatha prayed, it  felt like it was  a sweet breath of fresh air  that  was  always surrounding you.And once she prayed for you, this made a person excited, making them want to be ignited with that same "HOLY GHOST FIRE"  that she had.

I remember when Pastor Fumi laid hands on" Agatha Dark" and on that day She became" Pastor Agatha"& how  she was given the assignment to be the Pastor @ 919 North Broad Street.which was then called the "One Hour Church."

I remember when Pastor Agatha had her 1st Anniversary at her church and how the Homeless men were at her beck and call. I remember how one of the Guys could SING!!!!!  And he sang to the Glory of GOD at that dinner.

I remember that some of the most endearing , confidential things that I told her about my personal life, that I know she  just prayed about it , and never said a mumbling word to anybody but GOD about my troubles; and I believe that she took them with her.

I remember being in the "School of Disciples" with her and how she was the Treasurer, and how she was on target with everything and she definitely took care of business, in making sure that we had all of our materials  on time.

I watch her raise her Sons and kept them groomed Spiritually and Physically. I remember how one of her sons wanted to play the Keyboard and was training himself to perfection!

I remember one time when we went on a Ministers retreat and how Pastor Margaret , She and I  shared a room together I remember how our early morning prayers at the retreat carried the "Dew Drops of the Morning" in the prayers uttered out of her mouth.

Oh I could go on and on and on................. However, there is not enough space to write my memories.

All I can say is Rest on My Sister!

Absent from the body , Present with the Lord!

And I do know that the "DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST! Weeping may endure for a night but JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING.

Your Legacy will live on forever! And you can rest assured that SISTER JOY LOVED YOU!

My Condolences goes out to all of your Love ones.

Warmest memorial regards,

SISTER JOY!

I remember one christmas period vividly about 9 years ago when I came to church and received a gift from Pastor Agatha, she had gifts for everyone that year (and I'm sure years to follow) I wondered how she remembered that many people, how she could afford that many gifts, but her response was... she starts shopping for Christmas gifts at the begining of the year... who does that? only a kind hearted soul like hers.... 

May God help us all to live a life of love, to sow seeds of love and to truly be a blessing to everyone
